The City of Edmonds has accepted a grant from Sound Transit for bike lanes along 9th Avenue South to 100th Avenue West to Firdale Village and from 9th Avenue and Walnut Street up Bowdoin to Five corners.
Late last year, city officials took many citizens to task for a flyer that was circulated door to door that implied that all parking on 9th Avenue South and Walnut/Bowdoin might be eliminated. The city officials assured the citizens in a public meeting that eliminating all parking was not an option, but parking might be reduced approximately 50%. Now the latest city materials, just published, show an option that would eliminate all parking on 9th Avenue South and Walnut/Bowdoin. So it looks like the citizens flyer circulated last year was correct after all.

South County Fire crews responded early Wednesday morning to a blaze at the Firdale Market in Edmonds’ Firdale Village.
Two people one inside the market and one in a neighboring building got out safely, South County Fire spokeswoman Leslie Hynes said.
The 911 dispatch center began receiving multiple reports of smoke and flames coming from the building, starting at 4:42 a.m., Hynes said. The fire quickly went to a second alarm, and the Shoreline Fire Department responded to assist, she added.

Trump might veto the relief bill: Trump s big issue with Congress new $900 billion package is that individuals aren t getting enough stimulus money. Instead of a $600 check, Trump would like people to receive $2,000 checks. I mean, yeah, $2,000 would be way more useful than $600, but where was this energy the entire year, Donald? Also, the government will be boned because the relief package is tied to an overarching funding measure aka if Trump successfully vetoes this the government will shut down. On top of that, small businesses wouldn t receive aid and there wouldn t be any funding included for vaccine distribution.
